rainemak | We have 3 topics today so we should also time for general discussion | 08:02 |
rainemak | let's get going | 08:04 |
rainemak | #topic bluetooth/ble support for android apps (5 mins -- asked by arisel) | 08:05 |
rainemak | A question from the previous meeting | 08:05 |
rainemak | #link https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/community-meeting-on-28th-november-2024/21050/2 | 08:05 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> Too long question to be pasted here. Hence, above link. | 08:05 |
rainemak | good morning flypig and daiboiade as well | 08:05 |
flypig | Morning! Sorry for being late. | 08:05 |
rainemak | no worry | 08:05 |
flypig | #info David Lllewellyn-Jones, community | 08:06 |
daiboiade | good morning everyone | 08:06 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> You can be rest assured that we are also aware of current limitations. | 08:06 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> We certainly want to have bluetooth support for AppSupport, it is not | 08:06 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> about that, and we have some novel ideas regarding this. | 08:06 |
daiboiade | #info daiboade, community member | 08:07 |
rainemak | Having bt support for AppSupport would certainly unlock use cases | 08:07 |
arisel | rainemak: do you have any ideas on prioritization, or on which way you might most possibly be following / evaluating? | 08:08 |
arisel | rainemak: also: my Q was a bit about being able to find an information you just posted, somewhat more publicy. So: will there be any statement in the forum, maybe? | 08:09 |
rainemak | arisel, some decision making needed first. I'll try to get above copy-pasted to the forum as well on a topic xyz | 08:11 |
rainemak | arisel, for time being I guess this is satisfying answer :-) | 08:11 |
rainemak | let's move on | 08:12 |
rainemak | #topic More generic features enabled in kernel configs (5 mins -- asked by nephros) | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> I’d like to raise awareness for this feature request, maybe for | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> SFOS5 we could get a couple of the more desktop-y kernel functions | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> enabled? | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> My personal wish would be filesystems like NFS, CIFS and UDF, but | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> there are some other requests in the linked topic. | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> Where would a “formal” request with specific features have to be | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> directed? mer-hybris/mer-kernel-check? Somewhere else? | 08:12 |
rainemak | #link https://github.com/mer-hybris/mer-kernel-check/ | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> You are right. The mer-hybris/mer-kernel-check is the right place to | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> look at. Opening a PR is a good way to start discussion regarding | 08:12 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> needed kernel options. | 08:12 |
arisel | rainemak: ty! (and knowing that you aim for that is nice!) | 08:13 |
rainemak | #topic Jolla C2 adaptation repos and source code (5 mins asked by nephros) | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> This is a bit of a Folllow-up question to an older one forum topic | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> meeting log: The answer to the earlier question was: Opening up | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> adaptation sources got J Tablet and JollaC (one) was “are tricky as | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> there were some proprietary sources”. | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> Will such components be made available for the C2 device? | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> Also, as noted here, open source tarballs are not currently | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> available e.g. at Index of /sources/. Will these be available? If | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> so, when? | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> Do users who want to have access to e.g. the GPLv2 kernel sources, | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> indeed have to put that as a written request to Jolla, as noted in | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <nephros> the Sailfish OS License Terms? | 08:15 |
rainemak | #link https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/community-meeting-on-14th-march-2024/18132/8 | 08:15 |
rainemak | #link https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/jolla-c2-open-source-code/20959 | 08:15 |
rainemak | #link http://releases.sailfishos.org/sources/ | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> Current adaptation build process for C2 is complex making also OBS | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> building difficult. That is making source code publishing to Index | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> of /sources/ also difficult. There are tons of topics to be sorted | 08:15 |
rainemak | #info <Jolla> out. No schedule promises at this point. | 08:15 |
flypig | Is it just a technical difficulty (i.e. not legal or something else)? | 08:19 |
flypig | (I'm refering to the difficulty of building on OBS). | 08:19 |
rainemak | I'd say mostly technical difficulty | 08:21 |
flypig | Okay, thank you! It sounded like that from the way you described it, but I just wanted to make sure. | 08:22 |
rainemak | time to move on | 08:22 |
rainemak | #topic Open PR discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla) | 08:22 |
rainemak | Seems that none today. Maybe on next meeting. | 08:27 |
rainemak | #topic General discussion (10 mins) | 08:27 |
flypig | A quick question about the kernel modules, as I'm clueless on the topic. How easy or hard is it to change these settings? Is it just a case of changing the value in the "mer_verify_kernel_config" file, or is it much more infolved than that? | 08:27 |
ViGe | I'm as clueless, but "mer_verify_kernel_config" sounds like something that just verifies the config instead of actually creating the config | 08:29 |
flypig | Yes, it does rather, doesn't it. | 08:29 |
abr | but getting something added to that would mean that all adaptations including ports would be strongly encouraged to add it to their kernel configs. | 08:30 |
ViGe | Personally, I would like to see midi sequencer enabled in the config, but as I'm probably the only one I'm not going to even suggest it to be added :-D | 08:30 |
abr | of course there's nothing stopping them adding extra configs anyway | 08:31 |
flypig | ViGe, I think poetaster asks for something similar in the forum thread? | 08:31 |
arisel | ViGe: +1 ;)) | 08:31 |
flypig | So, abr, the idea is that by getting it added there, warnings will be thrown up somewhere else that'll provoke the actual work needed (which, I suppose, could be considerable)? | 08:32 |
abr | I don't think there's much extra work needed. There's nothing more to do than change the config file and make sure the kernel still works. | 08:33 |
flypig | abr, thanks, that's interesting. I guess you still have to compile the kernel, which is no small task in itself. | 08:34 |
abr | But I don't think it's feasible to enable absolutely everything. There has to be a line somewhere. Else the kernel might end up too big and maybe even unstable. | 08:34 |
flypig | But for someone really keen to have a specific feature, it sounds like they could do it themselves and try it out? | 08:35 |
abr | iiuc adding the the kernel-check won't really get older adaptations updated either. just new ones. to add stuff to those you can create a PR on the repo (in the case of the xperias or other public adaptations) | 08:35 |
abr | building kernels isn't easy iirc. pretty serious HADK. | 08:36 |
flypig | Thanks abr, I find this really helpful for perspective. | 08:36 |
rainemak | very good discussion indeed | 08:37 |
abr | Hope I know what I'm talking about :D | 08:37 |
flypig | You always know what you're talking about! :) | 08:38 |
abr | no i just sound like I do :P | 08:39 |
rainemak | yeah, right :-) | 08:41 |
rainemak | let's schedule next meeting | 08:41 |
rainemak | #topic Next meeting time and date (5 min) | 08:41 |
rainemak | Proposing Thursday 12th December at 08:00am UTC | 08:41 |
flypig | No objection here! | 08:42 |
abr | btw, here's how bt tethering was enabled recently in the xperia kernels: https://github.com/mer-hybris/android_kernel_sony_msm/pull/137/files | 08:42 |
abr | +1 | 08:42 |
flypig | Nice, thanks abr! That looks pretty straightforward... as long as you know what you're doing. | 08:43 |
abr | yeah the tough bit is the building and testing | 08:43 |
rainemak | #info Next meeting will be held on Thursday 12th December 2024 at 08:00am UTC: 2024-12-12T0800Z | 08:43 |
flypig | It looks like we're heading for a meeting on Boxing day ;) | 08:44 |
rainemak | Thank you everybody! Once again a very good meeting and nice to see some new nicknames. | 08:44 |
rainemak | flypig, let's try to avoid that Dec 26 / Boxing Day collision | 08:45 |
flypig | Yes please :) | 08:45 |
rainemak | I guess we'll just skip that continue 2nd Jan 2025 | 08:46 |
rainemak | ^ but that's to be decided on the next meeting | 08:46 |
rainemak | I guess we'll just skip that and continue 2nd Jan 2025 | 08:46 |
rainemak | that's it for today | 08:47 |
rainemak | thanks | 08:47 |
